The planet was discovered by firegemminers who were exploiting the neighboring Lowick asteroid belt.[1] The Pa'lowick became a part of the galactic community, but did not join the Galactic Republic, although they were taken over by the Galactic Empire. They did not join the New Republic. When the Yuuzhan Vong invaded the planet, they destroyed the planet's mechanical harvesting machines, but not the veejy crops themselves. As a result, the Pa'lowick were able to rebuild their economy after their planet was liberated. They remained unaligned politically.
